After 2+ years of what the GM in Canada calls "terrible" (referring to restructuring, plant closures and a very difficult downturn in the Oil and Gas industry), Tenaris is looking brighter with the introduction of Rig Direct, an industry game changing full cycle manufacture through to delivery of tubes and pipes directly to rig sites.

There had been plant closures and lay offs the past couple of years which is where some of the disgruntled employees are on this review site. However, those who have remained, have had long tenures here of 5 through to 30+ years, and work hard.

Every job is what you make it; Tenaris is on the upswing with a more upbeat staff, and some new fresh faces. The Prudential site was announced to be reopening in July here in Calgary. The AlgomaTubes site in Sault Ste. Marie reopened last fall.

Very poor management in Canada. They don't care about you all they care about is saving as much money as possible. You can't goto HR when you have an issue they are just puppets for upper management who don't care about you in the slightest. I've seen them get rid of HR personal when there is a big issue. They are looking to get sued in the near future if it hasn't already happened.

Pros

Can't really think of any.

Cons

Very poor management in Canada. head office has no clue what's going on in canada
